HOW DIEZANI ALISON MADUEKE WANTS TO CONNECTS WITH PRESIDENT ELECT BUHARI

The president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, and the controversial minister of petroleum resources Diezani Alison-Madueke, are reportedly connected by her husband Admiral Alison Madueke (rtd).
Diezani and her husband have been together for 16 years. The couple married in 1999, two and a half months after they met. They went to the registry and then had their holy solemnization at the Christ Church in Port Harcourt in July 1999.
Before their wedding, Alison-Madueke was married with five children but he lost his then wife. Diezani has one child from her husband.
Admiral Allison Madueke was the military governor of Anambra State from January 1984 to August 1985, and later Imo State until 1986. At the time the Igbo elder statesman was military governor, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, was Nigeria’s head of State.
Madueke later became chief of the naval staff, but after retiring from the navy, he became the chairman of Radam Maritime Services Ltd., the executive chairman of Interconnect Clearinghouse and the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National ICT Merit Awards.
It was reported that Diezani had been due to travel to the UK next week on Tuesday, but changed her plans after learning that Buhari was traveling to London, to afford her an opportunity to talk directly with him.

Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent.
